What formats does this skill support for documentation?

The skill primarily follows the 'Keep a Changelog' format and adheres to 'Semantic Versioning' (SemVer) 2.0.0 standards for version management.

Does it work with non-JavaScript projects?

Absolutely. While it has robust Node.js support (semantic-release), it also provides configurations for Rust (git-cliff) and Python (commitizen) environments.

How does it categorize changes in the changelog?

It uses Conventional Commit types (like feat, fix, and perf) to automatically group changes into sections like 'Added', 'Fixed', or 'Changed'.

Can I use this with GitHub Actions?

Yes, the skill includes specific implementation patterns and YAML templates for integrating automated releases directly into GitHub Actions workflows.
